ADHD will vary with the age and disappear?
As a child of the Li Le smart and lively, we are very fond of him. 3-year-old into kindergarten, teachers reflect he does not listen to discipline, naughty restless in. Entering the first grade of elementary school, teachers frequently find parents talk, reflect the Li Le problem: the classes always have little tricks, or tearing paper, snap the eraser, either on a chair twisted to twist to go, even leave the seat; the classroom do not pay attention in class, often looking away, easy to be around wind blow grass move attracted; the teacher's questions often stand up to answer; in between classes, often with classmates to chase ran slapstick; reading, exams often jump the line jump the word, the less meter or leakage meter reading job.
At home, mom also had a similar finding: job drag, doing play; adult speech is often chipped, chatter; whether in the home or to someone's house guest, always busy not down, one will open bookcase, one would Unscrew the TV is always losing it.
For the child, in a career on the small achievements and dad often disagree, often and the Li Le Mama Said, yourself as a child naughty incredibly, and now the business is also very good Ah. Mom slowly also in my heart wondering, the other kids in the future grow up, become a man, it is what problem does not exist, and therefore ignored his inattention, sloppy, ignoring his restless, run out of steam.
Lee Music this year has been third grade, everything seems to be like No mom and Dad expected that. The coursework and more, every day a total write does not complete, every day to write late into the night. His procrastination, distraction, after the frustration, irritability, the classroom is always not the state, can not keep up with the teacher's pace. Gradually, the Li Le more and more reluctant to homework, the mention of learning becomes impatient, and even exudes weariness mood, temper more and more big, slightly not a thing will be furious, often parents and teachers to contradict the argument, shift the blame, intentionally annoy each other.
According to the hospital appraisal report, the mother of expression and on-site observation, evaluation, Li Le diagnosed with“Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.” Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD, also known as ADHD, hyperactivity syndrome is a childhood-onset neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by developmental or age does not match the impaired attention, motility hyperactive behavior, mood instability, and impulsive performance, these problems tend to persist into the patient's adulthood. ADHD prevalence of about 5%, that is to say, the primary school stage for each class there may be 1—2 children to meet this aspect of the diagnosis. These kids are mostly normal intelligence, even superior intelligence to.

Can a single diagnosis of ADHD explain all the problems of the child?
In fact, only about one-third of ADHD children are eligible for this single diagnosis. Most ADHD children often coexist with other neurodevelopmental disorders, which may include: autism spectrum disorders, communication disorders, specific learning disabilities (such as dyslexia), specific dyskinesias (such as developmental coordination disorders/feeling) Integration disorder), tic disorder, etc. In addition, ADHD often suffers from other behavioral problems, including oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Among them, a conduct disorder may be a more dangerous marker of ADHD with significant neurocognitive impairment and poor prognosis.
The symptoms of ADHD are more variable and may last for a lifetime.
As a typical neurodevelopmental disorder, the core features of ADHD (attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity) gradually decrease with age, but the characteristics of attention deficits seem to be more likely to persist. Of course, consistent with the characteristics of diversified clinical manifestations, the developmental trajectory of ADHD varies from person to person. About 65% of people still meet all clinical symptom criteria or partial residual symptom criteria after adulthood, but some people can achieve all symptoms. ease.
From the perspective of treatment, adherence to learning and learning efficiency is a key factor in determining academic development, potential development, and quality of life. After explaining to parents, Li Le’s family regretted that they could not take the child to intervene in time and conceal the problem to the child’s intelligence and future growth. After in-depth communication with parents, adults have improved their interaction patterns with children, and the words of encouragement, support, and understanding have increased. Li Le, after follow-up psychological counseling, behavioral training, and medication from the doctor's advice, his attention, and careless problems has been greatly improved, and emotional problems have been well relieved.
